He is a small purple and green dragon who is Twilight Sparkle's long-time friend and assistant. Spike also handles communications between Twilight and Celestia, burning Twilight's written messages with his fiery breath to send them and then coughing up the scrolls Celestia sends back. In Season 8 episode "Molt Down", he gains his wings after going through the "Molt".
In My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, he was voiced by Cathy Weseluck, who also voices his dog counterpart in the Equestria Girls franchise. Weseluck also voices Near in the English dub of Death Note, Shampoo in Ranma ½, Snoozer in Hamtaro, Dennis Chan in Kid vs. Kat, Buttercream Sundae in Littlest Pet Shop, in Marco Van Helsing in Lobo in English dub, and previously voiced Rarity in Generation 3 of My Little Pony.
In My Little Pony: Pony Life, he was voiced by Tabitha St. Germain, who also voices Rarity, Princess Luna and Derpy Hooves in the same series, Nazz in the first episode of Ed, Edd, n Eddy, and Martha from Martha Speaks.
In Make Your Mark, he was voiced by Martin Roach, who voiced Sparkie in the HIT Entertainment series Mike the Knight.
Spike is purple with green scales on his back and a round belly. From the Season 8 episode Molt Down onward, Spike grows a pair of wings due to the molt. In the final episode of the series, Spike has become a full-grown adult, now bigger than his friends, excluding Twilight, who has also become the same size as Celestia, but also making him the same size as her and his wings have grown bigger and longer, making him fly more faster. In addition in becoming an adult, his body also becomes more muscular and beefier, making him stronger than any other dragon as well as creature and pony alike and his face becomes more of a full-grown dragon with his chin bigger and more manly like. He wears a gold medal around his neck as a sign that he is the ambassador of all the creatures.
In Make Your Mark, Spike grew longer and larger than other pony and had become quadrupedal. He now has green scales alongside purple dots and friendship bracelet on his left wrist.
Personality[]
Spike frequently displays a sardonic personality but can be counted on to help Twilight and her friends when they need him. In some of the episodes, it is shown that Spike has a major crush on Rarity, but she only sees him as a friend and is unaware of his affections until she becomes aware and accepts it in Season 2. Twilight hatched Spike from an egg as part of an admission exam for a school of magic run by Celestia, gaining both her cutie mark and a chance to study under Celestia's direct guidance. His greatest achievement is saving the Crystal Empire.
Reception[]
The feedback Spike received is mainly positive from many fans and is one of the most loved characters of the series. Spike even gain more positive receptions after having his own set of wings from Episode "Molt Down" from Season 8.
Fans dislike the perceived "Spike abuse" (mainly in earlier seasons where Spike was either bullied or the butt of the joke for most of the episode) which in recent seasons has greatly toned down as he gains more involvement in the six's adventures.

You know, it's kinda weird. No matter how many times others tell you you're great. All the praise in the world means nothing if you don't feel it inside.

Trivia[]
While some fans like to view Spike as Twilight Sparkle's adopted son, in the 200th episode of the series Sparkle's Seven, Twilight and Shining Armor acknowledge him as a little brother instead. It is also stated by Lauren Faust in an interview that Celestia was the one who raised Spike.
In My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Spike is the only male character with major protagonist status among the main characters of the series.
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is the first animated series that Spike (although he is a baby dragon) was in love with Rarity (although she is an adult unicorn, despite her seductive beauty).
Spike is one of the few characters of My Little Pony besides Pinkie Pie to break the fourth wall.
The Generation 4 version of Spike is the only dragon to gain wings while the other previous generations of him haven't, though this can be explained as previous incarnations not being members of winged species (in G1 other wingless dragons can be seen). G4 Spike is also the only one to age and become an adult, though surprisingly not the oldest as the G3 incarnation of Spike was already over 1000 years old as a baby.
Spike shares the same voice actress as Mayor Mare and Coco Pommel.
According to Twilight, Spike's been a part of her family since he was born.
The Break Up Break Down is the only episode in which Spike appears without any of the Mane Six.
Unlike all the previous voice actresses who returned to reprise their roles in Pony Life, including Nicole Oliver as Celestia, Cathy Weseluck hasn't returned to reprise her role as Spike, as Tabitha St. Germain voiced him instead.
Tabitha St. Germain's Spike voice sounds similar to Martha from Martha Speaks.
Eric Bauza and Patton Oswalt were originally going to be the voice of Spike before Cathy Weseluck took the role. Like Tara Strong, Eric Bauza is a Canadian voice actor in the United States.
Spike is also the fourth character of the fifth generation of My Little Pony to make his return since the previous generation. The first being Discord, The second being Twilight, and the third being Fluttershy.
Throughout the series, Spike's voice has noticeablely gotten deeper.
